Dibrugarh civic body chief to face floor test on Oct 31

By Bureau

DIBRUGARH, Oct 26 - The no confidence proceedings against Dibrugarh Municipal Board chairperson Soma Chakraborty will be held on October 31.

This was conveyed in a notice signed by ten municipal ward commissioners on Thursday. The special board meeting of the civic body here had to be postponed to October 31 due to procedural formalities, the notice said.

The present municipal chairperson may be eased out of office as she does not seem to enjoy the confidence of even her own BJP ward commissioners. Soma Chakraborty�s predecessor, Anuradha Dey was also eased out of office in April last year. She too was from the BJP, which has 16 ward commissioners out of the Dibrugarh Municipal Board�s 22 ward commissioners. Anuradha Dey too faced severe criticism of nepotism and favouritism as being ground for her ouster.
